Jump to
Shira Gorshman (April 10, 1906 – April 4, 2001) was a Yiddish language short story writer and memoirist. She was born in the small town of Krakės in the Kovno Governorate of the Russian Empire (present-day Lithuania) to an extremely poor family and began working at a young age. She was able to achieve a basic education, and like many Lithuanian Jews was multi-lingual. She was self-supporting by the time she was 14, and had her first daughter when she was 16.
